1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: If you're watching right now, it means to me that 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: you're ready for a reset. You're ready for a clean out, 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: You're ready for a refocus. Maybe you're like Jay, I 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: just need to press that reset button so that I 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: can restart and focus in the direction I want to go. 6 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: I have used each of these habits to reset when 7 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: I've been tired, low on energy, feeling no momentum, and 8 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: feeling no motivation, And I have no idea how anyone 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: functions without them. In seven days, you notice that these 10 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: habits don't fight your life. They fit inside it. Each 11 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: one meets you in the exact moment your mind starts 12 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: to spiral. They don't demand more time, They reclaim the 13 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: time your stress is already stealing. Small habits don't just 14 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: change your days, they change the way your days feel. 15 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: The number one health and wellness podcast, Jay Sety Jay 16 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: Setya set I have no idea how people get through 17 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: their day without these habits. We all experience so much 18 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: stress every day, whether you're running late for work, or 19 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: a family member is creating drama, or you just had 20 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: a falling out with a friend. These habits help you 21 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: emotionally regulate no matter where you are. You can do 22 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: these in bed, at home, in the car, on a 23 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: bus or train, even in the bathroom. Number one breath work, 24 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: specifically the three breath reset. We've all heard about breathing. 25 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: We've all talked about breathing, but we don't realize the 26 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: value it actually offers. I remember my first day amongk 27 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: school when I saw a young monk teaching younger monks 28 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: and I was observing from afar. I then spoke to 29 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: him afterwards, and I asked him what he was teaching. 30 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: He said it was their first day of school. And 31 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: I said, well, what did you teach them on your 32 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: first day of school? He said, well, what did you 33 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: learn on your first day of school? I said, I 34 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: think we learned like one, two, three or ABC, I 35 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: can't even remember. He said, well, I was teaching them 36 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: how to breathe. And I said, wow, that's incredible. And 37 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: he said to me, this ten year old, eleven year 38 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: old monk, He said, to me, when you're happy, what 39 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: changes your breath. When you're sad, what changes your breath? 40 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: When you're stressed, what changes your breath? He said? Your 41 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: breath is connected to every emotion you experience in life. 42 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: Your breath is the only thing that stays with you, 43 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: from the moment you're born to the moment you die. 44 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: Your country you live in change, your family changes, your 45 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: friend will change, but your breath is always there with you. 46 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: He said to me. If you learn to master your breath, 47 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: you master your life. We undervalue how useful our breath 48 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: is in managing emotion, in regulating stress. He is when 49 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: to use this trick when your phone buzzes with a 50 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: message that makes your stomach drop, when you're stuck in 51 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: traffic and you're already late, when you're about to say 52 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: something you will regret. Here's what I want you to do. 53 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: Take three deliberate breaths, in for four seconds and out 54 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: for six. The long exhales stimulate the vagus nerve, lowering 55 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: heart rate and cortisol. It's the biological equivalent of hitting 56 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: save before your emotions crash the file and I know 57 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: what you're thinking. Do you have heard it before three 58 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: deep breaths? It didn't solve the problem. I still had 59 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: an argument with my partner. Here's the reality. It doesn't 60 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: fix the problem. It fixes the state you're in while 61 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: facing the problem running late for work. Take a deep breath, 62 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: stuck in traffic, Take a deep breath. Disagreement with your partner. 63 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: Take deep breath an email you can't stop rereading. Take 64 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: a deep breath when you're blamed for something small or 65 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: ignored for something big. Take a deep breath when the 66 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: phone doesn't buzz, when the message doesn't come, when the 67 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: plans fall apart. Take a deep breath when you're halfway 68 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: through explaining yourself and realize you don't need to. Take 69 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: a deep breath. When you feel like you're falling behind, 70 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: falling short, or just falling apart. Take a deep breath 71 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: because that breath is a border between reaction and response, 72 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: between who you were a second ago and who you 73 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: still have time to be. You don't need to fix 74 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: the moment. You just need to pause inside it. Think 75 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: about all the times you've said something you didn't mean. 76 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: Think about all the times you've looked back on a 77 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: moment and thought to yourself, I could have done that better. 78 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: That breath allows you the ability to make something out 79 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,119 Speaker 1: of a bad situation. It is bad. The breath doesn't 80 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: make it better. You are late. The breath doesn't make 81 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: it better. It just allows you to not make more mistakes. 82 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: It stops you from taking things down the wrong angle. 83 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: Breath work, to me has been my companion. Whether I'm 84 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: about to go on stage and I'm nervous, or when 85 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: I'm running late and in the back of an uber 86 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: and i know I'm going to be late for this meeting. 87 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: That's really important, all the way through to when I 88 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: feel like I'm having an argument with someone I care about, 89 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: or even someone that's new to my life. It's really powerful. 90 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: Even if you think about working out what allows you 91 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: to lift more your breath right, what allows you to 92 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: function when you're running your breath. If you think about athletes, 93 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: they can run for the amount of time they can 94 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: and exect the end they can because they monitor their breath. 95 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: If you think about singers who hit incredible notes, musicians 96 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: you play wind instruments, they can hit those because of 97 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: the control of their breath. So much beauty and life 98 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: exists because of the control of our breath. Even if 99 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: you look at boxes, they can hit with more energy, 100 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: more precision when they master their breath. Breath is the 101 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: single most underestimated tool and asset that each and everyone 102 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: was gifted with since the moment we were born. It 103 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: can manage stress, give you energy, refocus you, make you present. 104 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: If you invest in one habit this month, this year, 105 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: focus on breathing. It will change the way you sleep, 106 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: change the way you work out, change the way you eat. 107 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: It's such an undervalued part of human life, and you 108 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: don't have to pay for it, and it's easy to learn. 109 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: Breathe in for four and out for six to start 110 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: Number two. Morning light. No scroll when you're already scrolling 111 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: before you've even left bed. Here's how it works. Go outside, 112 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: outside of your doorway, outside, onto the lawn, outside, onto 113 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: your back, tiny balcony, whatever it is, even just a window, 114 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: for two to five minutes, expose yourself to natural light. 115 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: Morning sunlight aligns your circadian rhythm. This is chronobiology in practice. 116 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: Your body clock resets through your eyes. Why does this matter? 117 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: You stop starting the day in comparison and chaos. Light 118 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: before screens tells your brain it's morning, not a crisis. 119 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: Think about this. Most of us don't wake up to light. 120 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: We wake up to sound, and that sound is usually 121 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: an alert or an alarm. Now let's talk about those 122 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: two words. You need an alert when you need to 123 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: be jolted, You need an alarm. When there's an emergency. 124 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,239 Speaker 1: Every day we wake up in a state of emergency 125 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: because we wake up to an alarm. The alarm triggers 126 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: you to wake up with stress, with pressure, maybe even 127 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: feeling tight chested, and all of a sudden, you grab 128 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: your phone in that moment, and now you have everyone 129 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: telling you what you didn't do yesterday, what you've got 130 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: to do today, and what you forgot to do last week. 131 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: We start our days at zero if you slept well, 132 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: and now when you pick up your phone you've added news, 133 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: negativity and notifications. You're at a minus three and then 134 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: you add noise to it minus four. For the rest 135 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: of your day, you're simply trying to climb up back 136 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: to zero. And you may be saying, Jay, I don't 137 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: live in a sunny climate outdoors being in the light right, 138 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: just being exposed to it. Remember the sun and the 139 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: moon and the darkness and the light with the way 140 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: we knew whether it was night and day. And that's 141 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: how we function today. We work in the night and 142 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: sleep in the day. But before we followed that natural rhythm, 143 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: the alignment you create when you don't look at your 144 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: phone first thing in the morning, just for five minutes. 145 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: Just for five minutes, your brain actually has the time 146 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: to warm up. What's incredible is that ancient traditions of 147 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:29,599 Speaker 1: India talk about the practice of Surya Namashkar, which translates 148 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: to sun salutations to salute the sun. This is how 149 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: people started their day. It was a ritual, a practice. 150 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: Today science has proved that starting your day off with 151 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: sunlight is great for your circadian rhythm. Don't underestimate this 152 00:09:45,600 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: free opportunity to start your day better than stress. I 153 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: want to feel better, to have more energy and more 154 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: focused throughout the day.

Maybe after a 169 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: long zoom call, when your desk looks like a crime scene, 170 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: Maybe when you feel emotionally cluttered but don't know why. 171 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: Here's how it works. Pick one small zone, your counter, 172 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: your bag, your inbox, and give it two clean minutes. 173 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: Visible order creates internal order. Small actions restore a sense 174 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: of control and dopamine flow. And here's why it matters. 175 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: When life feels messy, your environment becomes your mirror. Straight 176 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: in the mirror, the reflection follows. Right. If you looked 177 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: into a mirror and it was slightly tilted, or you 178 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: have one of those ones that kind of move back 179 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: and forth, you're not getting an accurate reflection. That's what 180 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: your space can feel like. You notice how clearing your 181 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: space empties your mind. How when you can't focus on 182 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: your work. If you clear your space, your thoughts kind 183 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: of get clearer in order. If you can't focus on 184 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: your work. Clear your space if you can't hear your 185 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: own thoughts. Clear your space when everything feels heavy for 186 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: no clear reason. Clear your space when your move dips 187 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: but nothing's wrong. Clear your space when the day feels stale, 188 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: when your mind feels stuck, when your energy won't move, 189 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: Clear your space when you don't know what you need. 190 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: Start by creating room to find out. Wipe the counter, 191 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: fold the blanket, open the window, let light in, let 192 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: air in, Let you back in. Because your space is 193 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: an echo of your mind, cluttered rooms equal cluttered thoughts. 194 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: You can't always control what's happening in side you, but 195 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: you can shape what's around you. Every time you clear 196 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: your space, you tell your brain we're safe now. Every 197 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: surface you clear gives your mind permission to breathe. When 198 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: I was in the monastery, i learned this statement that 199 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: I want to share with you that changed my life. 200 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: Location has energy, time has memory. When you do something 201 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: in the space every day, it carries the energy, and 202 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: when you do something at the same time every day, 203 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: it carries the memory. But sometimes our space is where 204 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: we spend a lot of time, get clutted. We eat 205 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: where we're meant to sleep. We sleep where we're meant 206 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: to work, and we work where we're meant to eat. 207 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: The energy is disorganized, and so is the space. No wonder, 208 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: you can't focus on that table. No wonder, you can't 209 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: sleep in bed because the things that are around it, 210 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: the space that's created, the energy that it holds, doesn't 211 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: allow for that rest or that focus. Two minute tidy. 212 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: We always say to ourselves, Oh, I'll do it on 213 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: the weekend. Oh I need to find that one day 214 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: to fix that space. I'll clean the whole house on 215 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: the weekend. Two minute tidy. Just sort your desk out. 216 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: You'll full focused, You'll be ready. Two minute tidy. Just 217 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: put the dovet right, You'll be ready. Two minute tidy 218 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: will solve so many challenges in your life. Give it 219 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: a go. Number four the gratitude text. Here's when to 220 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: use it. When you're lonely scrolling on social media, send 221 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: a text instead. When you feel unseen, undervalued, or quietly 222 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: angry at everyone, send a gratitude text instead. Here's how 223 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: it works. Send one genuine message, no longer essay, just 224 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: a few honest words. Hey, I just wanted to say 225 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Studies show that gratitude boost serotonin and 226 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: strengthens emotional bonds. Here's how gratitude works. It shifts attention 227 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: from what's missing to what's present. In a world of 228 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: constant compari, gratitude is rebellion. Did someone hold the door 229 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: open for you? Say thank you? Did your coffee taste 230 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: exactly right this morning? Say thank you? Did a friend 231 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: text you just to check in? Say thank you? Did 232 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: you wake up next to someone you love or simply 233 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: wake up at all? Say thank you when the sky 234 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: looks ordinary but the air feels kind. Say thank you 235 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: when plans fall through but peace shows up instead. Say 236 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: thank you when the lesson hurt, but it taught you 237 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: something true. Say thank you when nothing special happened, but 238 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: nothing terrible did either. Say thank you. Say thank you, 239 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: and it's easy say thank you, and it's hard. Say 240 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: thank you when you have enough, and especially when you 241 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: think you don't. Because gratitude doesn't change what you have, 242 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: it changes how you see what you have. Every time 243 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: you say thank you, you remind your mind that not 244 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: everything is missing. And every time you forget, life waits 245 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: patiently to show you something else to be grateful for. 246 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: I know gratitude sounds soft. I know it sounds weak, 247 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: but studies show that when you're present in gratitude, you 248 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: can't be anywhere else. If you're having an anxious thought, 249 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: replace it with a grateful one. If you're having a 250 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: worry field thought, have it replaced with a thankful one. 251 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: You can't live in both places at once. It's an incredible, 252 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: incredible trick of the mind. Write a two minute message 253 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: to one person personally, one person professionally, and if you 254 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: can be expressive, be specific, and be personal. If you 255 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: get a message that just says thank you, that's nice. 256 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: But if you get a message that says, thank you 257 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: so much for taking care of my friend when they 258 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: were visiting, and I just want you to know that 259 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: they felt really loved and cared for, you're allowing that 260 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: opportunity for that person to repeat that behavior. When you 261 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: reward something, that person will repeat it. We reward drama 262 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: by paying it too much attention. We reward stress by 263 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: paying it too much attention. Let's reward good behavior, even 264 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: if it's small. When you notice it, you'll notice it more. 265 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: Number five the twenty second cold rinse. I know what 266 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: you're thinking, jay I don't want to get in the cold. 267 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: It's gonna hurt, it's terrible. Here's when to try it. 268 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: When you finish your shower, just right at the end 269 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: of your shower, the last thirty seconds is a great 270 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: place to do it. Whatever time you shower, when you're 271 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: hitting an energy slump, it's a great time to give 272 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: it a go when you're anxious before a big meeting 273 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: or a call. And by the way, it can't just 274 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: be cold water on your face. You don't need to 275 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: get in the shower if you're at work when you 276 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: need a reset but you can't take a break, it's 277 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: a great reset. Here's how it works. In the morning 278 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: or the evening and your shower with twenty seconds of 279 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: cold water that shop floods the body with norapinephrine, sharpening 280 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: focus and mood for hours. Cold exposure activates resilient circuits, 281 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 1: a microdose of discomfort that trains your brain for bigger stress. 282 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: Here's why it matters. You start teaching yourself discomfort isn't danger. 283 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: I can do uncomfortable things. This one belief, this affirmation, 284 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: I can do uncomfortable things. When you prove that to 285 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: yourself in the morning with twenty seconds of cold. You 286 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: come out of there with so much confidence, so much clarity, 287 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: ready to hit the day. It doesn't make the day better, 288 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: it gives you the inner confidence of dealing with the 289 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: stresses that your day will throw at you better. And 290 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: it's just twenty seconds. Number six, the one sentence journal. 291 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: You might have heard about journaling before, but I feel 292 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,719 Speaker 1: a lot of us struggle with it. You struggle with, 293 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: well what do I write about? Every day? You struggle 294 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: with like, how much do I write? Oh my god, 295 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: there's three pages here. I've only got three paragraphs, maybe 296 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: even less, three lines. I want you to try the 297 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: one sentence journal. Here's when to use it when you're 298 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: lying in bed, replaying conversations or worrying about tomorrow, when 299 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: your thoughts feel heavier than your day really was. Here's 300 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: how it works. Write one line. Today. I noticed that's it. 301 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: This simple cognitive reappraisal helps your brain file away experience 302 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: instead of looping it. Here's why it matters. Your brain 303 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: doesn't need a perfect ending to rest, it just needs closure. 304 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: Today I noticed that gratitude isn't a grand gesture. It's 305 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: a glance you decide to linger on tomorrow. I'll notice 306 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: something else. The way someone laughs, the shape of the moon, 307 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: the way life keeps offering tiny miracles disguised as ordinary moments. Today, 308 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: I noticed how quiet the morning is before I look 309 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: at my phone. Today, I noticed how good the first 310 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: sip of tea was when I'm not multitasking through it. Today, 311 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 1: I noticed the barista knew my name and that it 312 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: made me smile more than I expected. Today, I noticed 313 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: my friend's laugh on a voice note they sent to me. Today, 314 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: I noticed a song I've played a hundred times and 315 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 1: still makes me feel something. Today, I noticed I complain 316 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: about the weather no matter what it's doing. Today, I 317 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,239 Speaker 1: noticed how nice it felt when someone asked how I 318 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,479 Speaker 1: was and really waited for the answer. Today I noticed 319 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: how much of life happens while I'm staring at a screen. 320 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: It's not profound, Just practice the practice of looking up 321 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: instead of scrolling down, of paying attention before life becomes 322 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,479 Speaker 1: background noise, of realizing that small moments don't stay small 323 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: unless you ignore them. The truth is noticing won't fix 324 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: your life, but it will remind you that it's already 325 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 1: happening right now, in the middle of your ordinary day. 326 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: Number seven, the thirty second future you check in. Here's 327 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: when to use it.

Pause and ask, will future me 331 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: thank me for this?
